The manga, Sweet Punishment (Amai Chōbatsu ~Watashi wa Kanshu Senyō Pet), gets an anime adaptation and will air on April. There will be two versions: the regular version and the complete version with additional explicit scenes. More information on ANN.

The story is set in a prison in the near future year of "20XX." It revolves around Hina Saotome — an office lady imprisoned despite her innocence — and the elegant yet sadistic guard Aki Myojin. Hina's heart and body are at the mercy of Myojin's "cruel yet sweet domination" from physical examinations to even her lover's prison visits

Boys Over Flowers Season 2 (Hana Nochi Hare ~HanaDan~ Next Season will have a live adaptation this April. The manga takes place two years after F4 graduated, but in the adaptation, the story takes place after 10 years.

With declining enrollment due to a recession and the rise of a rival school, Eitoku Academy is now ruled by the "Correct 5." The group seeks out -- then runs out -- any students whose families haven't made appropriate donations to the school. The story follows Correct 5 leader Haruto and student Oto, an impoverished student attending the academy for reasons having nothing to do with money. When the two discover each other's secrets -- that Haruto buys self-help items to get stronger, and that Oto is poor and works at a convenience store -- they promise to keep each other's secrets.

The picture above is Oto and another character who is not Haruto. I will not mention who it is for now. This is an unconfirmed reverse harem. More information on Crunchyroll.

The Korean movie, The Princess and the Matchmaker, will be out on February 28.

Princess Songhwa (Shim Eun-Kyung) refuses her fate of marrying someone who matches her marital harmony. There are 4 men on her future husband list with different fate signs. Refusing her fate, she decides to leave the palace and find her husband by herself. Seo Do-Yoon (Lee Seung-Gi) is a person who interprets marital harmony signs. He is very skilled at his craft and, consequently, selected as the one to read the marital harmony signs between Princess Songhwa and the 4 men on her husband list.
